3.0

Much more action than the first book, which helps with the pacing issues I found in book. I enjoyed the magic system, world, and characters, but I’m a little disappointed with some unanswered questions. The ending felt a bit rushed, and I wish there was a bit more time given to the grief characters must feel at times but is mostly glossed over. Overall though, enjoyable and a step up from book 1.
